BC youtube-summarizer-bot
A Python bot that monitors YouTube channels via RSS, summarizes new videos using Google Gemini AI (with audio fallback for videos without subtitles), and sends bilingual (Chinese + English) summaries to a Telegram chat daily.
As a process C 56/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, consistency
ReferenceTelegramYouTubeMedia and videotype and topics are labelled automatically from the skill text
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
Process rating: all ten parameters 56/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (youtube-summarizer-bot) differs from the folder (youtube-daily-digest-bot)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 15 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 572 tokens
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
